South Camden Theatre Company kicks off 9th season

On the off chance that the South Camden Theatre Company, a nonprofit organization attempting to keep the focus on local talent and artists, is not on your radar already, it might be surprising to learn the successful playhouse is kicking off its 9th season this month.

Leading the way is an original work written by Joseph M. Paprzycki. “Express Tracks” is an examination of fear at the most primal and raw level and explores a scenario most of us would find truly horrifying — stuck and trapped on a long-distance commuter train as the heat index rises and tensions build.

It’s a riveting exploration of personal breaking points and the learned patience we hopefully develop while navigating our daily lives, along with being an occasionally uncomfortable expose on tolerance and understanding. You’re in for a thought-provoking evening.

Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $20. For more information, visit southcamdentheatre.org.
